The app is designed exclusively for the iPad, and comes loaded with 100 stories shot by Reuters photographers around the globe.

In addition to simple photo browsing, the app includes all kinds of background information that brings the images to life, providing context on every story that the photographs tell. You’ll enjoy facts, quotes, graphics, sounds, videos, before-and-after comparisons, interactive 360-degree photos, and much more.
